Target, Amazon, and Walmart Deals That Help Feed Your Family for Less


If you're looking to make every dollar count—especially on groceries—leveraging gift cards, rewards, and credit card perks can save you a lot. Here’s how to maximize programs like Target Circle, Amazon rewards, and grocery-focused credit cards.

 

Target Circle — Earn & Save in August 2025

  • Buy One, Get One 50% off groceries like ice cream, cereal, frozen meals, coffee, tea and more via Target Circle Week.

  • Regular Target Circle members get 5% off every purchase, including groceries.

  • Example deals (expires mid‑August):

    • BOGO 50% off blueberries, chicken nuggets, coffee

    • “Buy 2, Get $10 gift card” offers on snacks, trash bags and pet food

  • Join Target Circle (free) via app to unlock savings and earn points.

 

Amazon Gift Cards & Rewards

  • If you have an Amazon Visa or Prime Visa card, you earn cashback or points on grocery purchases including at Whole Foods. Points can be redeemed immediately at checkout.

  • You can also earn Amazon gift cards by redeeming points from platforms like Swagbucks or InboxDollars. These help you buy pantry staples or shelf-stable groceries.

 

Grocery-Friendly Credit Cards

  • Cards like Blue Cash Preferred® or Blue Cash Everyday® from American Express reward you with 3–6% cashback at U.S. supermarkets.

  • These cards are ideal if most of your grocery shopping happens at traditional supermarket chains—not wholesale clubs or big-box stores.

 

Tips to Maximize Food Savings

  • Stack savings: Use Target Circle discounts + cashback credit cards + Amazon points if shopping at Whole Foods or Amazon.

  • Load gift cards before big sales: Especially Amazon gift cards or Target RedCards to get daily discounts and shipping perks.

  • Track expiration dates: Many weekly Circle deals end mid‑August—act before they expire.


Final Tips

  • Join loyalty apps: Target Circle is free and easy.

  • Use earned points: Turn points into gift cards or credits toward groceries.

  • Match your shopping: Pick grocery‑reward credit cards based on where you shop most.

  • Stay alert: Weekly offers expire quickly. Keep an eye on app notifications or newsletters.
